Matterdale Church
Matterdale Church

Nothing remains of the original chapel at ease; work began on the present building around 1560 when the locals, fed up with the long trek to Greystoke for the full set of sacraments, petitioned for a local church. The building as it exists today, dedicated in 1580, has had additions and alterations but retains the character of the Elizabethan structure. Visually , in its setting, the church is simply stunning.
Note - Door a tad stiff to open needs a strong push.

N.B When they eventually got their new church not only did they have to pay for a new Priest but also continue to pay a tithe to the Greystoke church. Religion didn't come cheap in those days.
